Description
Tresco House (No 31 and No 33) and Weller House (No 33A) are 18th-century buildings that were refronted from an earlier timber-framed house, which was once an inn. They are constructed of brown-red brick with red brick quoins, dressings, and flat arches. The roof is tiled and sits behind a parapet with a moulded brick coping, and there is a large brick chimney on the right side. The buildings are two storeys high, featuring a first-floor band and a cement plinth. Each floor has three double-hung sash windows set in reveals, and there is a six-panelled door on the left, with two panels flush in panelled reveals and a surround of Roman Doric pilasters that support an entablature and pediment. On the right, there is a smaller half-glazed door (No 31) with glazing bars and a pedimented hood.
At the rear, there is a brick wing inscribed with "1807 TD" (Tyrwhitt Drake), which has two double-hung sash windows on the first floor, although the ground floor has been altered. This wing extends into a timber-framed structure with brick infill and an old tiled roof, partly comprising No 33A (Weller House). The east front features modern openings and dormers, while the west elevation facing the garden of No 35 remains unaltered.
The rear elevation of the main house has three rendered gables, with the leftmost gable over the carriageway of No 29. The first floor displays exposed timber framing with brick infill, featuring three casement windows and one sash window, along with lean-to additions on the ground floor. The timber framing is also exposed in the gable walls.
Inside, the front ground floor room of No 33 has chamfered ceiling beams, while the rear room contains an 18th-century corner cupboard with an arched head and shaped shelves. There is reset 17th-century panelling in the first-floor front room, and 18th-century panelling with a moulded cornice in the first floor of the rear wing.
